My New Year's resolution for 2015 was to significantly increase and maintain my level of exercise -- and I did it! I've been making regular use of our stationary bike (burned out the old one in the spring and bought a new one) and my weight machine in the basement. I didn't keep up with my walking, but I was happy, overall.
Unfortunately, I was so enthusiastic about exercise that I didn't keep on top of my diet, and gained about 10 pounds over the course of the year.
So, for 2016:
> Maintain/increase my indoor exercise
> Increase my walks (I actually enjoy these, but it's difficult scheduling the time)
> Get serious about sticking to a reasonable diet. Again.
I have also been experiencing significant insomnia since the end of 2014. I discovered last August that I can very effectively control it by scheduling an hour (or more) on the deck in the sunshine when I get up. I used to have tea and read a book in the living room, now I have tea and read a book on the deck. Unfortunately, we had very, very little sunshine in December. The "light effect" wears off after a few days. So, to the above list add:
> Continue sitting in the sun when possible
> Buy a therapeutic light for when there's no sun.
